Organized Village Of Kasaan

Organized Village of Kasaan, a federally recognized Haida tribal government located on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska near Ketchikan, is a federal grant recipient operating as a tribal entity across multiple federal programs, with 86 of 87 recent awards held as prime recipient status rather than as a federal contractor or subcontractor.

The Organized Village of Kasaan's federal footprint centers on transportation infrastructure, environmental stewardship, and community development delivered through direct federal grant awards. The Federal Highway Administration dominates the award count with 20 transportation program grants under the Tribal Transportation Program (CFDA 20.205 and 20.289), funding highway planning, construction, and tribal transportation infrastructure in Alaska. Recent FHWA awards include a $1.125 million grant on November 13, 2025, for FY 2026 transportation program funding, a $4.035 million grant on January 21, 2025, for FY 2025 transportation services, and earlier awards of $1.2 million (March 1, 2022) and $2.262 million (December 14, 2022) under the same program. The Environmental Protection Agency placed 17 awards, including a $4.998 million Cooperative Agreement on August 1, 2024, under the Habitat Conservation program (CFDA 11.463) to replace culverts and bridges along the Kasaan to Goose Creek Road as part of salmon habitat restoration and flood reduction, and a General Assistance Program grant on October 1, 2024, running through September 30, 2027, funding environmental staff training and capacity building in climate change adaptation, harmful algae bloom monitoring, and solid waste management. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded $1 million on August 3, 2026, under the Indian Community Development Block Grant Program (CFDA 14.862) through July 24, 2031, supporting Alaska Native community development, housing, and economic opportunity. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the Denali Commission, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services round out the customer base, with grants supporting broadband subsidies, tribal justice services, and cultural preservation through the Kasaan Cultural Learning Center.

The Organized Village of Kasaan's customer concentration spreads across 19 distinct agencies, with the Federal Highway Administration and Environmental Protection Agency combining for 37 of 59 awards counted in the top-customers block (68% of awards). Unlike typical federal contractors, Organized Village of Kasaan does not compete on contract vehicles; it receives direct federal grants and cooperative agreements as a tribal government eligible entity. Activity shows seasonal volatility across the past five years — six awards in 2022, four in 2023, five in 2024, seven in 2025, and one in 2026 — reflecting the calendar of federal program funding cycles rather than sustained contract growth. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars total $62.4 million against a combined potential value of $2.2 million in the recent-award snapshot, reflecting a legacy of prior-year multi-year awards now in execution. The sole sub-award on record dates to June 3, 2025, as a sub-recipient of Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium under that consortium's FY25 General Assistance Program grant.
